EulA Account OF the portuguese Fair
The following is more circumstantial ac-
count of the fair of the Portuguese Chart
table Association, wound up on Friday after
noon, than any which has vet appeared.
! First comes a review OF the different booths
designed to represent the different NATIONAL
tiles:
Beginning on the left, near the entrance
was the Hawaiian. under the high patronage
of Her Majesty the Queen, in which the ar
ticles for sale were principally native The
| ornamentation of this BOOTH with profu-
sion of green foliage and flags elegantly
draped, produced a most artistic ensemble,
| greatly 10 the credit of the three ladies who
attended to it-Miss Nina Widemann, Miss
! Bernice Parke and Mrs. ALLAH. This table
brought in S125 O5.
The next was the French, presided over by
Mrs. Bouliech, assisted by the MissesJ Judd,
| Geeen and Winter, these three pretty young
! ladies being dressed in the picturesque cos
! tune of the French Arleseanes peasants.
! The drapery of this booth, formed by French
| flags, was joiun9 - ir c-nire b. 2 W. coat of
arms of the .te.i -rRa5lc a-ls the back
ground was adorned with the three colOrs,
and the columns on each side were covered
/ with beautiful festoons of superb lowers,
supplied by Mr.. Kidwell at the request of
! MIR. Cocheet, the French Commissioner.
I The table here was covered with an abun-
a true French character. The receipts here
summed up S151.
The German booth, decorated with an ex-
quisite taste and in perfect national style.
attracted great attention. The Imperial
coat of arms was hung in the centre If the
draperv and promjaent IA tie background
was ~" twa.headed eagle, whilst in front of
it Mis- sch ..iidT, - ted Ju il throne with a
sword IL hand, represented Germany. The
little lady was really beautiful, showing that
in a few years she will be splendid 6 Ger
mania" If at that time the Fatherland
asks her to watch on the frontier her sweet
smile will stop the French invasion more
effectually than the Krupp guns. The booth
was in charge of Mrs. Lose and Mrs. Ehlers,
assisted by the Misses Voss, Weber and
Poppenberg, all dressed IN true and pretty !
German peasant costumes, two of which
were lately brought from Germany. This !
table realized the handsome sum of $203.
Next came, in charge of Mrs. Perry, as
sisted by Mrs. Rodanet, a Portuguese table |
with the national coat of arms. Here was |
found q specially of clothing and dress arti- |
Giles, made by the lady members of the |
Charitable Portuguese Association, pro-
ducing S72 so.
The English booth, presided over by Mrs.
Wodehouse and Mrs. r. X. Walker, displayed |
the national flags and coat of arms, and was
decorated in excellent style, worthy of the |
experienced patroness. The table, covered |
with a splendid display OF pretty goods, was
in charge of Miss j. Mist and the Misses |
Wodehouse, all three dressed in character
istic English costumes which attracted the /
crowd and drew the attention away from the
articles for sale, which, nevertheless, brought |
in SIP 60.
Adjoining this booth, and under the pat
ronage of Mrs. Merrill, were two American
ones united in one, under the protection of
the American eagle, the brilliant colors of |
fI,a oil nd Oft ha
tiful and tasteful decorations. The first |
table was presided over by Mrs. Cunha,
assisted by the Misses Walker, McIneruy,
Gilliland and Hare, the latter beautifully
personifying the goddess of Liberty. Mrs.
Cunha collected from her table a total
amount of S225.
The second table was in charge of Mrs.
Sass and Mrs. Bowler, assisted by the Misses
Wall, Morgan and Clark, An interesting
feature at the table was the little George and
Martha Washington, personated by Alice
and Armand Wall. Miss Eva Putnam was
charming in her eye Olden Time Puritan
costume. This table brought in the hand
some amount of 1920.
The Japanese booth followed, with the i'm
perial clover leaf, emblem of the Land of the
Rising Sun; the well known white flags with
red discs and other characteristic decora-
lions, testified to the taste and attention of
the presiding lady, Mrs. faro Ando, who was
assisted by the Misses Finkler, Turton and
G.. Robertson, dressed in perfect and ele
CANT Japanese fashion. The delicate national
articles displayed on this table, and the ex-
cellent tea served by the graceful attendants
at once carried the spectators mind to the
fair lands across the sea and helped to pro-
duce total of S62.25.
The Portuguese booth was on the right
side near the entrance, and was completely
covered with the white and blue colors be-
longing to this nation, whilst in similar
way the columns and ceiling were covered
with the foliage of a national plant, the
grape vine, between which shone the national
coat of arms, all of which produced pretty
and delicate effect. In this booth, all the
articles exposed were exclusively of Portu-
guese make, and the great bulk of them we're
embroideries such as are made by the women
of the country. Here presided Mrs. Cana
varro. assisted by Mrs. Gonsalves, Misses
NJ. Cunha and r. Vierra, the three last
dressed in an elegant and exactly true cos
tune of the country women in Northern Por-
tugal, which by some were pronounced the
most striking of the whole. The sum of
$13950 was collected by those graceful
workers.
Near the door was found the dolls table,
under Mrs. Nicholl, assisted by Miss Richly
and other young ladies. This was fairy land
for children, who could not tear themselves
away from the splendid collection, that
yielded $63.60.
Outside of all these booths, speclaltles were
found in different parts of the room. Mrs.
Unger presided at the scales, where stout and
lean alike were obliged to show what their
real value was. Mrs. Unger had also charge
of the Portuguese gold purse, rewarded to
the lady who should obtain the greatest
number of votes. 1t was reserved BY great
majority to Princess Kaiulani. In those two
departments Mrs. Unger realized $19425.
Another attraction was the fish pond, to
which there was Such rush OF bows and
girls that the Misses D. Dowsett and NJ. Won
Holt, both dressed in a most picturesque
costume, were hardly able to
work their hook and net quick enough to sat
isfy all the demands, as is shown by the mar
vellous haul of money they made, $l44.
The ten cent grab box was in charge of
Miss Augusta Berger, who did such a brisk
business, with the boys of st. Louis College,
that in few moments the whole collection
was exhausted. Miss Berger also had the
selling OF taffy candy, which she carried on
with success and credit. and her activity de-
